    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.
    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Well yes. Its all part of the fun.

 

Hillesden contract it to DLC, who contract it to Clarity, who contract it Fieldcall.............who then has to pay someone to come round - but only if I agree to an appointment.

 

It must be costing them a fortune in intergroup cross charges and post to get to the point where it started getting passed back up the chain.

Hey KaptRoger

 

Im currently dealing with Clarity and im havin so much fun with them as i do with all DCA's that have tried to persue my partner for no existant debts. The debt in question was persued by wescot in 2011 and after they could get the information that i had requested from their client Arrow Global limited, wescot finaly gave in and sent a letter of appoligy and had returned the debt back to there client, So just in november 2012 Clarity send the usal 1st letter and then the letter which tells you what they are after on an alleged debt that is owed. This time they included the original lender which was HSBC along with a sort code and account number and this is where they have slipped up.

 

I sent the usal CCA request and they sent a letter back saying that there client want the usal £1 fee and then they would send me the proof. Now Clarity in there incompatence made a few couple of mistakes. firstly i had requested that all letter be addressed Care of and secondly the letter started off with a different surname, so with this i declined to pay the £1 fee based on Clarity not fully complying with my requests and the mistakes they had made. So i waited an then i got the exact same letter but with the surname changed and still asking for the £1 fee, but no appoligy for there incomapatence, so again i wrote to them saying that they had now passed the 14 days and that they shud bugger off and explain to there client as to why their request for the £1 fee was refused.

 

I then got a letter this time appoligising for the mistakes and that there client was within there rights to seek £1 fee, which i am fully aware of the CCA guidlines. I did some investigating myself into the Account number and sort code, because as you know each sort code is unige to each branch, so contacted HSBC and asked them to tell me which branch it was attached to and to my supprise it was not even a local branch, so i asked HSBC if i was to apply for any of there products and i had an HSBC account in default would this show up and the answer was yes. Also i check my credit files every month and can trace back my financal history as far back as 2002/4 and not mention of HSBC.

 

So i wrote back and explained that Clarity need to provide me with proof that the alleged default exists and provide me with the original default letter from HSBC and Proof of last payment and contact, including any contact made within the last 6 Years. I also pointed out to them that they should already be in possesion of some if not all of the infromation that should provide the proof need to legally attempt to collect.

 

I have sent all copies of letters to the Financial Ombudsman and the OFT including the letters from Wescot, because as i pointed to the OFT and The Financial Ombudsman that seems to be some discrepencies with reference numbers.

 

Oh yeah, the nail in Clarity's coffin is that i am an HSBC account holder and have been since 2008 and only have and ever have had 2 accounts and they are both used, so im interested to know how i can have a default on an account i dont have and never have had, due to the fact its in another part the of the UK and im born an bread in the city i live in.

 

All i can say is always put the ball in there court. They are the ones that have to prove you owe the default in the first place and do you own investiagtion and use the evidence against them. Never admit always deny. Send all copies of the various governing bodies and keep all records of postage. Ive sent them an invoice for every letter sent and postage including letters sent to the OFT ect.

 

I love dealing with these idiots. I have compensation out of two DCA's. One was forced to pay me and remove the default from my partners file by the Finacial Ombusman. So far out of 6 DCA's only one was Genuine.

 

Give them hell.

 

Hope this helps you and anyone else who has dealings with Clarity or any others.

Just an update.....after a strenuous period of ignoring them (81 days)......nothing has happened. How boring. I was looking forward to hitting them figuratively with a section 24. Oh well we will probably have to wait until Christmas before they write again.

Hi Folks,

 

I have received a letters from Hapless Solicitors in Banbury. about a Court Claim.

 

The last time I heard about this claim was just after Christmas with a letter from DLC dated 24-12-12.

The Claim according to the Court expired on January 3rd 2013.

 

This letter from Hapless ways that they are "about to issue a Warrant of Execution against you",

"this will incur additional fees and costs blah blah", "

unless you pay the amount of the Warrant the Court Bailiff will call at your address with a view to taking an inventory

and levying goods belonging to you" blah blah blah "if you wish to avoid this you must contact DLC etc etc".

 

To me this looks just like a frightener,

 

I am aware of the Limitations on CCJs but would like some reassurance, advice and perhaps a slap-in-the-face-with-a-wet-fish letter (a Brig special?)

 

The scanner is out of action at the moment so any need for the full letter will mean I will have to type it.....

 

Thanks in advance.

So the CCJ was issued more than 6 years ago ?

 

If this is correct then they would have to make an application to the court and I expect that a judge is unlikely to agree to enforcement beyond 6 years of the original CCJ.

We could do with some help from you.

Just general law. A CCJ is only ever granted enforcement orders after 6 years in very very rare circumstances. The reasoning behind it is that the creditor has had 6 years to enforce it. There are no statute of limitations over a CCJ, but cases of enforcement after 6 years are very rare indeed.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I thought that there was a limitation.......

 

Section 24 of the Limitations Act 1980....

 

(1) An action shall not be brought upon any judgement after the expiration of six years from the date on which the judgement became enforceable.

 

(2) No arrears of interest in respect of any judgement debt shall be recovered after the expiration of six years from the date on which the interest became due.

 

I was wondering if the site felt that this no longer applies because things have changed?

County Court Judgement

If the creditor has previously taken you to court and you have received a County Court Judgement, you will be unable to use the Limitations Act 1980 to dispute the debt. If the judgement is over 6 years old the creditor may need the permission of the Court to enforce the debt.

dear silly solicitor

 

I have confirmed via a copy of the CCJ that you are not the named claimant.

 

This CCj has not been enforced or paid or ack'd by any method

by my self or the named claimant in over 6yrs.

 

It is highly unlikely that any judge would:

 

1. allow a change of claimant after 6yrs.

 

2. enforcement after 6yrs.

 

should you wish to do so

 

then I will vigorously use all the power of the various laws to block you attempt to fleece me

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Good morning,

 

For clarification please, The judgement date and the detail of the judgement order e.g. payment forthwith or by a certain date?

 

Have you at any point made any payment or offer of payment in writing to anyone including the court?

Has there at any time been a warrant issued prior to the current threat?

 

I will of course draft a letter if you wish.

s24 isn't concerned with procedures to enforce existing judgments but only with the right to bring a new action based on the existing judgment. As the others have said, though, leave of the court is very unlikely to allow the warrant. If you're interested in looking in to it the cases of note are Lamb & Sons v Rider [1948] and Lowsley v Forbes [1999].

 

There is, too, a statutory rule re: the 6 years for enforcement via a WOE - CPR Schedule 2 CCR Order 26 Rule 5

 

Best wishes,

 

Seq.

Good morning Sequenci,

 

There has as you know been some discussion on the site regarding the LA on enforcement of CCJ Judgement Orders after 6 years

have elapsed.

 

It is true that there are some types of loan including Mortgages Under Seal to which varying Limitation Terms apply.

 

After 6 years have elapsed WITHOUT ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION being taken then the claimant must seek leave of the court to seek enforcement, there is a very limited number of reasons available to claimants to put to a court when making such an application e.g. fraud cases and the recovery of the proceeds of crime, or deliberate and provable debt avoidance, e.g. changing a name.

 

Some have argued here that the Act does not prohibit the enforcement action in anyway, this hypothesis is flawed.

 

The process remains unchanged and hopefully will be so for a long time, unless the limitation period is shortened

to a more reasonable 3 years as proposed a couple of times in the past and then shelved because the CSA threatened to overwhelm the court system with claims.

Good morning Sequenci,

Morning brig!

It is true that there are some types of loan including Mortgages Under Seal to which varying Limitation Terms apply.

yes, I know. I'm not sure why you're telling me this - it doesn't seem relevant.

After 6 years have elapsed WITHOUT ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION being taken then the claimant must seek leave of the court to seek enforcement, there is a very limited number of reasons available to claimants to put to a court when making such an application e.g. fraud cases and the recovery of the proceeds of crime, or deliberate and provable debt avoidance, e.g. changing a name.

Leave is only required for the use of bailiffs (either county or high court) - the reason being is that all other enforcement/execution mechanisms generate a hearing where the issue of time delay can be raised then.

Some have argued here that the Act does not prohibit the enforcement action in anyway, this hypothesis is flawed.

What do you mean? I'm confused by this statement - can you elaborate? It's been a long day already! - All I know is that s24 has nothing to do with an existing CCJ - as per what I've written above.

The process remains unchanged and hopefully will be so for a long time, unless the limitation period is shortened

to a more reasonable 3 years as proposed a couple of times in the past and then shelved because the CSA threatened to overwhelm the court system with claims.

Not sure why you've posted this sentence? Sorry!

Hi. The debt was a cc debt defaulted in around March 2006. It looks like it was sold to Hilly some time in 2006 and it appears that they obtained a judgment end of December 2006 against me. All of this was unknown to me due to the fact I had moved and the redirection did not have any of letters relating to this forwarded to me.

 

There have been a few (four) letters since about November 2010. Mostly "give us money""why? Who are you?" "You owe money because we say so" "Prove it please" And then nothing until December last year "contact us and pay" then this one. So not really much effort to get me to pay.

 

The court told me that the ccj expired at the end of December 2012 and that it was in favour of hilly. Trust shows nothing.

 

I suppose my question is what can they realistically do?

Realistically very little. As the folks have already stated they would need to apply to seek the use of bailiff action - you can be rest assured that the court are highly likely to reject the application.

 

If it was me I would tell them that since the judgment was eneterd against you more than 6 years ago they will be refused leave to enforce via bailiffs and that they're wasting their time.

I suggest the following to Hapless and Useless solicitors.

 

Ref: use theirs:

 

Sir/Madam.

 

I refer to a letter dated xx.xx.xx in regard to a County Court Judgement obtained by xxxxxxxxxxx on a xx.xx.xxxxx for a sum of £xxx.xx.

 

I am sure as firm of solicitors that the judgement in question was made well over 6 years ago and that there has been not contact, payment or acknowledgment of this at any time, nor has any party contacted me in over 6 years and more importantly NO enforcement action has been taken at anytime by any party.

 

I am sure that I do not have to remind a firm of solicitors of the Sections of The Limitations Act 1980 which are applicable to this matter.

 

It is difficult to decide if your client has misled you or if Hapless is attempting to intimidate me in to making a payment on this matter.

 

As I had no knowledge of any such judgement and had no chance to defend it any attempt to restart action of any sort will be rigorously defended, involving your client if further costs.

 

This communication IS NOT an admission of any liability to Hapless and/or its client.

 

Please note this is my FINAL RESPONSE.

 

The letter is sent by RM recorded/signed for delivery and its receipt will be chacked.

 

Haplesss should now close the file on this matter and return it to the 'client.

The solicitor is SEEKING A WARRANT OF EXECUTION. such applications do not believe generate any hearing, a hearing will be needed if the debtor wants to have the warrant suspended.

So letter is correct.
